The word "blueprint" makes us think of white line drawings on a deep blue background showing beautiful old buildings, or ships, or historic city plans. This introductory course visits the development of blueprints within the construction industry, and shows the student what to expect in a contemporary construction drawing set, and how to understand scale and symbols in drawings. There is hands-on experience with drawing simple scaled drawings. The later lessons in this course review the place of CADD and more advanced 3-D and intelligent building modeling as "blueprints" morph in the world of e-technology.

Construction Management is a multi-disciplinary field that requires a broad perspective of projects. In this course, learners will improve the bottom line of projects they manage, through the implementation of efficiency protocol, and effective practices in design, development, budgeting, contracts, and supervision
|
This course provides an understanding of construction methods, building systems, and materials and equipment selection. It provides the construction manager with the knowledge required to effectively communicate with the various design and construction entities on a project, as well as to perform other project management tasks, including cost estimating, planning and scheduling. Topics include MEP and material descriptions, specifications and usage, construction techniques, and optimal economic selection of construction resources.
Prerequisite: Approval by instructor
Textbook: Construction Methods, Material and Techniques by William P. Spence
